necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this user manual.

Important:

Damages caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to warranty. The dealer will not accept liability for

any resulting defects or problems.

• If the device has been exposed to temperature changes due to environmental changes, do not switch it on immediately. The

condensation could cause damage to the device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

• This device falls under protection-class I. Therefore it is essential that the device be earthed.

• If protection screen, lens or ultraviolet screen in the fixture is apparently damaged or is damaged to exceed their own effective degree,

such as cracked and gashed, it must be replaced.

• The electrical connection must carry out by a qualified person.

• Make sure that the available voltage is within stated range.

• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged by a sharp edge. Replace cable immediately if damaged, this work must be done

by an authorized dealer.

• Always disconnect from power, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull

out the plug by tugging the power cord.

• Don't project the beam onto combustible substances, as this causes a safety hazard.

• Please be aware that damages caused by manual modifications will void warranty.

• During initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not necessarily mean that the device is

defective, it should decrease gradually

• If the external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be exclusively replaced by the manufacturer or his service

agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. All screws for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be

tightly connected and must not be corroded.

• There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).

• Mechanically moved parts must not show any traces of wearing and must not rotate with unbalances.

• The electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.

• Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be administered by a skilled installer and any safety problems

have to be removed.

General Guidelines

• This device is a lighting effect for professional use on stages, theaters, or other professional installations, etc., the device

was designed for indoor use only.

• This fixture is only allowed to be operated with the max alternating current which stated in the technical specifications

printed on the fixture.

• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks may ensure that the device will

serve you for a long time without defects.

• Do not shake the device .Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

• While choosing the installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust.

Please don't project the beam onto combustible substances. The minimum distance between light-output from the projector

and the illuminated surface must be more than 0.5 meter.

• If you use the quick lock cam in hanging up the fixture, please make sure the quick lock fasteners turned in the quick lock

holes correctly.

• Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for

operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation.

the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to short-circuit, burns, electric shock, lamp

explosion, crash, etc.

• In order to make the lights in good condition and extend the life time, we suggest a regular cleaning to the lights.

Installation Instructions

•

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate safety cable.

•

The installation of the effect has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour

without any harming deformation.

•

The applicable temperature for the lighting is between -10°C to 45°C. Do not use the lighting under or above the

temperature.

•

Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture.

•

The operator has to make sure the safety and technical installations are approved by an expert before taking using

this fixture in the field for the first time.

•

These installations must be inspected by a skilled person once a year.

•

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits,

installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you

lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in serious bodily

injury.

Attachment Instructions

• Attach the Omega clamp on the bracket by tighten the M12 bolt on the bracket to the hole in the middle of the bracket.

• Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the bracket into the respective holes on the bottom of the fixture.

• Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise.

• Install the second Omega clamp.

• Attach the safety-cable through the holes on the bottom of the base. Attach to the trussing system or other safe fixation

point.

• Be sure the safety is fully looped, the quick-link is attached and fully tighten

• Inspect for complete attachment before lifting over-head

Technical Specifications

• Power supply: AC 100-240V~，50/60Hz

• Power consumption: 110W

• Packing dimensions: 31.5x24.5x46cm

• Net weight: 5.5 KGS

• Gross weight: 10.5 KGS

Mounting

Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use and install the supplied

safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the

installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these

qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

DMX Control Connection

Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 5-pin XLR input of

the moving head. You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core,

screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below:

DMX Start Address

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture responds to the correct

control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control

information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the

display located on the base of the device.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different address for each fixture individually.

If you set the same address, all the units will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the same channel number. In other

words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control

channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected fixture.

In the case of this LED moving head, which is a 15 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the

second unit to 16(15 + 1), the third unit to 31 (15+16 ), and so on.

DMX Connection with DMX terminator

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as in a discotheque,

it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The

DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output

XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below:
